Abstract
LORD MOYNIHAN died on September 7 at his home, Carr Manor, Leeds, in his seventy-first year. His fame was world-wide, and great gifts with which he was endowed made him the greatest surgeon of the day both in Great Britain and abroad. His father was Captain Moynihan of the 8th Foot, who gained the Victoria Cross in the Crimean War. Ten years later, on October 2, 1865, Berkeley Moynihan, his only son, was born at Malta. He was educated at the Royal Naval School and entered the Leeds Medical School for his professional training. He took his M.B. at the University of London in 1887 and the fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1890. After graduation he started teaching anatomy in the Leeds Medical School; later he was appointed assistant surgeon to the Leeds General Infirmary and then in due course surgeon and consulting surgeon and professor of surgery in the University of Leeds.
